Hello everyone! Llama Emoji-49 (Mah Yummy Fud) [V3] 

A short review of 2013 and my gratitude to everyone


Before the end of 2013 I would like to at least post one last journel. 
Here is my year in review, just something I wanted to do to remind myself to keep on improving. Llama Emoji-09 (Drinking Tea) [V1] 


There were various photographs I started off with at the beginning of the year. At that time my focus was more on traditional art because although I had a tablet, the pen pressure wouldn't work so I gave up on it for quite a while.

Here's my little comic I did in April. Hehe Llama Emoji-54 (Resting) [V3]

In May, I posted my first proper digital artwork after 1 year, it was a drawing for my friend Liyadan's birthday. You can tell that I still hadn't fixed my pen pressure problem at that time. The next piece was for my friend Bluberrybush's birthday.

Gradually, I started adding more digital drawings. But school is so busy Llama Emoji-52 (Worried) [V3]

In July, I finally fixed the pressure problem and I feel that that was when I really started to learn digital drawing. My first drawing was a 1 layer artwork with heaps of sparkly things. At that time, I was still experimenting with colours and brushes so basically everything was new to me. I think over used the bright colours! haha Llama Emoji 41 (Sleepy) [V2]

This was when I recieved a few requests and it was so much fun. But I closed requests after a while because I didn't have a lot of time and I didn't to take people's requests and then not end up doing them because I'm too busy. But I think I will open to requests some day because it was really fun! Llama Emoji-05 (Flower Sparkles) [V1]

After that, I started to spend more time on improving my digital drawing. Colour was still a big problem for me because I found it hard to match the right colours and shades together.

If you've read this far in my silly little journel, I want to thank you very much! Llama Emoji 43 (Yawn) [V2] 

When you click that fave button, I bet you don't realise it, but I'm very very thankful. I want to give my love (haha, that's a bit cheesy) to all those who watch me, because I am so happy to have people who are willing to follow me for my art. It brings me happiness to know that the art I create is enjoyed by people and gives me encourgement to continue drawing. Llama Emoji-10 (Shy) [V1] 
But it's not only to those who watch me, but also to those who comment wonderful feedback on my artwork. I love and appreciate every single comment I recieve and I will always read every comment. So don't think what you're posting will be ignored because I will never do that! Llama Emoji 35 (Desire or Want Something) [V2] 
Thank you to all those who are willing to spend that extra second to fave my work, or even just to have a look at them, I am very thankful. 

I keep saying I'm thankful and I really really mean it. And I hope that if you have read all of this, you can understand that I'm very happy to be able to post my art on Deviantart. And I'm sorry if I rambled on too much, but I hope that 2014 will be another wonderful year filled with new challenges and suprises. Llama Emoji-03 (Sparkles) [V1] 

And not just me, but to everyone, I wish you all the best next year and don't give up. Don't think that you're not good enough so you should quit because art is never about quiting. This may be old, but art is really about practice, only when you practice can you achieve better, and besides, your art style may change as you continue to practice. And one day you might realise 'This art style really suits me!' 

Happy New Year everyone!

No one reads my journels anyways so im just gunna ramble on about drawing sideviews. :iconsecretplz:
i personally dont like drawing sideviews because I can never get them right. Maybe its because i dont do what most great artists do by sketching and circle 4 da head and drawing lines and divided the circle etc etc... :iconimblushingplz:
when I draw a sideview of the person, the mouth and nose just wouldnt match up..  :iconimstilltwitchingplz:
somtimes I wonder how all the great mangakas draw their sideviews...

now... I have brought 3 different brands of pen tablet in 1 year time and none of them worked... ( the one I previously brought broke as well ) I have given up hope of ever using a tablet. There must be something rong with me... pen tablets must REALLY hate me. *sob* but i really want 2 use 1 that can draw properly. WHY CANT I OWN A WORKING TABLET FOR MORE THAN A YEAR? *wail*

'Why is this acount very similiar to this other deviant artist?'
well, I have made a new account and put up some of  my previous pictures. The reason?
I wanted to change my username and various other things. If only devianart allowed you to change your username without doing what I had to do.

My pen tablet broke down so I can no longer do any digital artwork. I was wondering if anyone knew a good tablet that is actually compatible with paint tool sai. I brought a Wacom Bamboo fun pen and touch tablet but the pressure sensitivity would not work on sai. I realised lots of people had this same problem. I hafta say, the tablet was BEAUTIFUL! Its was slim and black and stylish. I just felt so sad it wont work.
So It would be very helpful if anyone can give me some suggestions.

So for the time being, I would just hafta draw manually.

Please support me in becoming a better artist by donating some points. :thanks:
